Fantastic stay.
We had a fantastic two days stay. Staff very friendly and helpful. The hotel is Located in an outstanding location. The hotel and grounds are outstanding and impressive. Thank you.
Inn on the Lake
public areas excellent very expansive and staff very helpful and friendly. Bedroom with balcony very small, only one armchair, shower ridiculously poor pressure, and bathroom basic. All in all bedroom was NOT luxurious and not up to a good standard.
People
Wonderful staff didn't get her name but the restaurant manager was just brilliant
What more could you want?
A very relaxing and successful three day break in the pleasantest of surroundings. The accommodation was very comfortable and all the staff were unfailingly friendly and helpful. We were particularly impressed with the restaurant, its staff and the excellent menu. We shall certainly be returning for further visits.
2 night stay at Inn on the Lake in late February 2019
Great location, very good clean room with great view, food of quality expected of 4* hotel. Only gripes were finding a parking space on arrival as the hotel was busy with non-residents and needing to book restaurant for both lunch and dinner. Suggest signposted dedicated car park area for residents. Will definitely visit again.
Relaxing stay
Had a lovely overnight break at Inn on the Lake. It was very relaxing, and the staff were friendly and the service excellent. Our room no.11 had a fantastic view. Would definitely come back.
Lovely hotel let down by small bedroom.
A lovely hotel in a fantastic location. We had paid a bit more to have a room with a balcony which was a bonus for us BUT the size of the actual room was disappointingly small and there was very little space. Fortunately we were only staying for two nights so it was not too great an issue.
